So true. Think about it, we are human being , and we are part of animals too. We like to stay connected and we like our own time too. The trick is how to get the balance of social vs alone time in a day to day living. Also, staying connected with good heart people who can share the passion, this may not be easy to find. It takes time.
Eloquently said. Connection & community is something I’ve been focussed on for a little while now & really feel the benefits to my wellbeing & the impact on others. 🙏🏼
Everyone in the Community Building business is going to love this. Context, history, science, to go with the latest information and practices on building communities, a major movement since 1970's
Thank you for this! I have a wonderful partner, but he is very happy with many solitary pursuits whereas I get lonely when he is so engaged in his activities. It makes sense that I need my own community as well as a good relationship!
I am blessed I this area. I have my Sunday dinner tribe, my golf tribe, my swimmers tribe, my Pilates tribe, my politics tribe, and I have 3 or 4 girlfriends that I get together with regularly but not too often. Retirement has given me this privilege and I am beyond grateful. ❤️
Yes, human contact so essential, and there is less of it in incidental ways - at the bank, the checkout, all now machines. thank you
What a lovely reminder!
I agree 100 %
The aspect of social health gets very little attention and gets lost among the common advice around the classic pillars you mention.
That is why it’s cool you shed light on it.
With more and more people living alone, loneliness is an epidemic - being harmful to the individual’s health.
Thank you for sharing this
You are welcome.

Awesome! Such a great reminder: a wholistic life lived with and around others in the daily rhythm of life.
Who would have thought such wisdom would make such sense?!
So heart disease isn't necessarily about hardened arteries...it's about hardened (or lonely or broken) hearts!
Both are important ... but which weighs more? :)
Thank you

You are truly blessed. Many do not have one tribe, let alone in many areas of their lives. I think that is magnificent.
I think everyone is talking about this. At least I am seeing it everywhere and hearing it on podcasts…
As we should...but we also need to take action.
So much community was stripped away during COVID. That would explain all the illnesses - physical & mental plaguing our country.
Agree 100%!
Amen.
:)
You always make so much sense to me I find your posts so helpful 🌸
Thanks, Eva.
I believe I read somewhere that married couples live longer - or perhaps it was only happily married ones. Makes sense in the light of your post.
